Remember that reboot of The Tick that Amazon ordered a few months ago? some new images are out, along with official synopsis and a release date.
The pilot for the new The Tick series will hit on 19 August 2016, which is in a little less than a month. In the past, The Tick has had his own video game, live-action TV show, animated TV series as well as comic book series and numerous merchandise. He’s come far from just being a mascot for a comic book store.
There’s the official synopsis:
In a world where superheroes have been real for decades, an underdog accountant with zero powers comes to realize his city is owned by a global super villain long-thought dead. As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero. The Tick stars Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy), Griffin Newman (Vinyl), Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen), Valorie Curry (House of Lies), Yara Martinez (Jane the Virgin) and Brendan Hines (Scorpion). The Tick is executive produced by Ben Edlund (Supernatural), Barry Josephson (Bones) and Barry Sonnenfeld (A Series of Unfortunate Events), directed by Wally Pfister (The Dark Knight), and written by Edlund. The Tick is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television.
Hopefully it’ll do better than the last time The Tick was on TV.
